Preschool

Kennedy has been excited about this day for awhile now. She gets mad watching "sissy" and "brother" being dropped off to school everyday.

Finally her day came!
She was awake earlier then everybody. She had picked out her outfit the night before (with much coaxing from me, that arm sleeves probably wouldn't match.) She didn't complain and let me do her hair (with more coaxing that we couldn't add pink in it for the first day. So sparkles it was!) She applied lip gloss (her favorite and most wretched way to accessorize. The girl had a mound that Beau and I had to, once again, coax to wipe some off.)

She wasn't scared at all!

(Her teacher...we LOVE her. Seriously, the women is amazing. She also has a few more openings if any of you want to put your 3-4year old in. Let me know and I will get you her info. She is soooo worth it!)

As you can see in the picture she still has her backpack on. I showed her where the hooks were and she said (so kindly)"I want to wear it so the other kids don't steal it. They will all want it because it is cute."

When I picked her up she walked out and said " I was SUPER good mom, and all the other kids were naughty!" (pretty good indicator she was naughty.)

She said "Do you know what this means?" (as she put her head down on her hands)
I said "No, what does it mean?"
Ken "It means I was naughty."
Me "Oh"
Ken" But I told teacher that I would be super good from now on."

None of this shocked me of course. The teacher did say when she walked out "She is a little firecracker!"

Ken has since picked out her outfit for next week.
She definitely will need a little more convincing that go-go boots, a hot green skirt and red arm sleeves maybe won't be the best option!

Man, It's a good thing she is so cute!
I love my little stinker!

Caleb Beau

Caleb had his end of the year program Monday night. He was so excited to show us all the things he learned. He asked me if he was going to get pictures too since I took some with Savanah, so of course I took some of him!

He is such a handsome kid. He really loves to learn and enjoys doing whatever daddy does! He is a great little dirt bike rider and a super skilled climber! He loves trees and anything high. I have found him on the roof before after he used the kid table, with a bike stacked on that, and then a huge matchbox car racer on top of that! It is a wonder he didn't fall!!

Caleb is very independent and is very proud of the fact that he can style his own hair! He does it in one of three ways (In his words)- "spiky wild hair" (which he is sporting in the pictures), "shark hair" (which is a fo-hawk), and "Missionary hair" (which he only does on Sunday's, part to the right)

I am so thankful that we found Mrs. Orton. He has learned so much from her class and really loves her! His last preschool class he dreaded and never wanted to go. Now he asks everyday if it is school day and I attribute that to Danielle. She is an amazing teacher!! She has worked hard with her classes and it shows. The kids can all count to fifty, do sign language to each letter of the alphabet and do their sound. They have learned about fireman, police officers, 911, animals, farms, letters, sounds, and tons more. They even have had field trips!! She is amazing!



Here are a few small clips from his program too:


(This is the finger poppin' song. It is funny when he notices me he forgets what he is doing)



(This is his group dance he learned....it is so cute)


We are so excited to do fun things this summer with the kids. But they will both miss school so much. Congratulations to our little Shnoodie on his graduation! We love you him so much!!
